A great Sad Day ...

8/29/2012

 
    So today had it's ups and downs.  First I was up at 5am for School.  This was a down because I got everything but Math done and Mom will have to help me later with that.  Then another up when the mail came.  I have such Awesome Shareholders.  You see Ms. Jenny sent me a gift.  A gift that I have been searching for ever since I barrowed Ms. Stacy's.  I even looked at the Fiber Christmas in July Festival and lost the only one there to Ms. Sarah.  This is what I am talking about ...

   I want to stop and say Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to Ms. Jenny.  She has given me a book that I will treasure always.  
    Mom worked all day (a Down) and when she came home she brought dinner.  (If you want to know what was for dinner ... it was Pizza)  That was another up.  While she was at work she got a present from a family that came to the farm to visit a few weeks ago.

    Okay so it is really a Tupperware Salad Spinner but in this house it is a yarn spinner ... It works great to get the extra water out of the yarn before Mom hangs it out to dry.  Cool huh?? 
    So now for the really up but down part of the day.  Tonight two girls came by the house.  In it's self that is okay but these two girls wanted to show lambs at the fair but because they lost their Dad about a year ago, their Mom just couldn't afford two lambs.  So as they asked around about 4-H projects they were directed to our house.  You guessed it.  They are now showing the two female rabbits at the fair. This is an up because the bunnies got new forever homes ... a real downer because I loved those two bunnies.  Sometimes Rescuing animals is hard.  You put your heart into them and get them all well and healthy only to have someone else take them home.  I do know that the girls will love them and take care of them.  Still, it isn't easy.... And I am worried the male one will be lonely.  I tried putting him in with Coco puff but Coco thinks he is a girl and not in a good way.  Mom says we will just have to find a Doe For Coco puff and put the fixed male in with her to keep her company if we can't find him a forever home.

LOL! Don't EVER think you don't write well.

I have to ask....how could Coco think the other bunny was a girl in a GOOD way? LOL again! (And thanks for making my husband laugh out loud too.)

The Straw Family is singlehandedly keeping me from losing faith in people!

I'm so glad you like the book! I understand how you feel about parting with the bunnies, but you've made sure they'll be loved and cared for. Those two girls must be so happy with their bunnies.
